The Music Producer's Handbook, Second Edition reveals the secrets to
becoming a music producer and producing just about any kind of project
in any genre of music. Among the topics covered are the producer's
multiple responsibilities and all the elements involved in a typical
production, including budgeting, contracts, selecting the studio and
engineer, hiring session musicians, and even getting paid. Unlike other
books on production, The Music Producer's Handbook also covers the true
mechanics of production, from analyzing, troubleshooting, and fixing a
song that isn't working to getting the best performance and sound out of
a band or vocalist. In addition, Bobby Owsinski tackles what may be the
toughest part of being a producer - being a diplomat, a confidant, and
an amateur psychologist all at once. This edition also includes new
chapters on self-production, small studio production, and how the new
songwriter-producer and engineer-producer hybrids make money in our new
digital music world. It also features several new interviews with some
of the best-selling producers from different musical genres, who offer
advice on getting started, getting paid, and making hits. Packed with
inside information and including exclusive online media, The Music
Producer's Handbook, Second Edition provides invaluable tools and advice
that will help beginners and seasoned professionals alike. Item includes
